Many Coaches Are Passing On The Ohio State Job

It was reported that Greg McDermott was offered the Ohio State head coaching position. However, the Creighton coach shut down the rumor on Twitter:

I'm blessed and honored to be the coach at Creighton…..and am looking forward to many more great years in Omaha! #rolljays

According to CBS’ Jon Rothstein, McDermott is now the fifth candidate to pass on the Buckeyes job:

Over five prominent HC's have now passed on Ohio State. The Buckeyes are officially on the clock. First recruiting period starts on 7/12.

As OSU AD Gene Smith is learning, looking for a replacement coach in June is not the best idea.
